What the public say: public engagement in national decision-making

This paper considers what British citizens who participate in public dialogue events have said about public engagement and how it can ? and should ? be incorporated into governance structures. It identifies a number of key insights from these citizen views, showing how public engagement in national decision-making can support the coalition?s move towards a more open, transparent and accountable way of governing. It also explores the implications of these views for the Big Society.
